DESCRIPTION
Rotary machine is hand operated and will form sheet metal up to 22 Gauge / 0.30”
thickness mil steel (or equivalent). The Rotary machine is constructed of cast iron and
steel ensuring minimum deflection of the workpiece during forming operations. Six die set
are included, allowing the following operations to be per-formed: large and small turning,
burring, wiring, ogee beading, and crimping.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL!
1.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2.OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in damp, wet, o
r
poorly in locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work areas well fit. Do not use
electrically powered equipment in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area.
Don’t let them handle the benders.
4.STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry
location without rust. Always lock up tools and keep out or reach of children.
5.DO NOT FORCE THE ROTARY MACHINE. It will do the job better and more
safety at the rate for which it was intended.
6.USE EYE, EAR AND BREATHING PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI
approved impact safety goggles.
7.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean for better and safer
performance. Keep handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
9.STAY ALERT. Watch what you are dong. Do not operate any machinery
when you are tired.

10.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it would operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of
moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition
that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in the instruction manual.
11.REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
12.DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR
DRUGS. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate
the tool.
UNPACKING
Refer to Figure 1 and 4.
Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a claim must be filed with
carrier. Check for completeness. Immediately report missing parts to dealer.
The rotary machine comes assembled as one unit with one die set attached.
Additional parts which need to be fastened to the tool should be located and
accounted for before assembling:
A
Base assembly
B Crank handle assembly
C
A
djusting handle assembly
D Wrench
E Spacers, 2 each
F Small turning die set
G Ogee bead die set
H Burring die set
I Large turning die set
J Wiring die set
K Crimping die set
IMPORTANT: Rotary machine and dies are coated with a protectant. To ensure
proper fit and operation, remove coating. Coating is easily removed with mild
solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid getting cleaning solution
on paint or any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents may deteriorate these
finishes. Use soap and water on paint, plastic or rubber components. After
cleaning, cover all exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil.

ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figure 4
MOUNT BASE ASSEMBLY
Mount base assembly (Ref. Nos. 1-7) to a suitable area on workbench. The
thickness of the mounting surface cannot exceed 2”. Secure in position using
clamp handle (Ref. No. 4).
MOUNT ROTARY MACHINE TO BASE
Mount rotary machine body (Ref. No. 18) to base (Ref. No. 1). Secure with hex
head bole (Ref. No. 7).
MOUNT HANDLE TO MACHINE
Mount the crank assembly (Ref. Nos. 8-12) to the driving shaft (Ref. No. 53).
Secure with hex head bolt (Ref. No.8). Mount the adjusting handle assembly (Ref.
Nos. 38-40, 60 and 61) into top of body (Ref. No. 18).
INSTALLATION
Machine should be installed on a level surface, with proper lighting. Machine is to
be bench mounted. Be sure to provide clearance for crank arm rotation. Area
around machine should be clear of scraps, oil or dirt. Apply a suitable non-skid
material to floor.
OPERATION
Refer to Figures 3 and 4.
Be sure to keep hands clear of forming dies when rotating crank handle. The
maximum capacity of the machine is 22 gauge (0.30”) mild steel or equivalent.

Stainless steel .020”
SAE 1050 cold-rolled steel .024”
Aluminum .055”
Soft brass .046”

1. Select the die set required for the operation to be performed.
2. Place spacers (Ref. No. 50), dies and retaining nuts (Ref. No.52) onto the
driving and driven shafts (Ref. No. 47 and 53). Tighten the retaining nuts with
wrench (Ref. No. 59) provided.
3. Adjusting the position of the upper die according to thickness of the workpiece
by using the adjusting handle (Ref. No. 60).
4. Adjust the horizontal position of the upper die by ratating the adjusting nut (Ref.
No. 27).
5. Adjust the stop gauges (Ref. Nos. 10 and 15) or the stop plate (Ref. No. 14) to
the required size. The required size is the distance the form will be from the
edge of the metal. Use the stop gauge for sheet and use the stop plate for
cylinders. The stop gauge can be finely adjusted using the thumb nuts (Ref.
No. 13).
6. Insert metal between dies and slowly rotate the crank arm (Ref. No. 9). Check
the workpiece. It may be necessary to fine tune the adjustments made in steps
3 and 4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the correct form is obtained.

MAINTENANCE
Refer to Figure 4.
LUBRICATION
1. All exposed iron surfaces should be coated with light oil to prevent rusting. Use
a multi-purpose or bearing grease for lubrication.
2. The adjusting block (Ref. No.35) should be greased.
3. Oil the driving shaft (Ref. No. 53) through the oil ports (Ref. Nos. 17 and 62)
monthly.
